Creating memories that will last a lifetime.

2024 Camp Echoing Hills Camp Schedule

The price of camp has increased to help cover operating costs. We realize many families have extreme costs associated with caring for their loved ones, and we don’t want anyone to miss camp because of the cost. Scholarships are available; however, to ensure our camper financial aid can go as far as possible, we encourage you to partner with your local county to see what funds are available through them.  Additionally, waiver funds are accepted at Camp Echoing Hills. Once you have exhausted those options, please request scholarship dollars – made possible by our faithful donors! It is always our goal to give scholarships to everyone who needs them.  If you have any questions or concerns about scholarships, don’t hesitate to contact Donna Shallenberger donna.shallenberger@ehvi.org

Camp Echoing Hills

Camp Echoing Hills is a non-profit Christian camp serving adults and children with intellectual or developmental disabilities. We are located in the rolling hills of rural Coshocton County and serve campers through seven weeks of camp each summer. Our camp promotes a strong sense of community and takes great pride in building relationships with the campers we serve. Campers come from all over the state of Ohio and around the country to build memories that will last a lifetime.

What really makes Camp Echoing Hills stand out is not our fun activities or accessible facilities, what makes us “a step above” is our dedication to investing in the lives of the people we serve. We take great joy in the knowledge that we serve everyone that steps into our “little slice of heaven”. Every person that is a part of camp, from our completely genuine and loving campers to our young volunteers serving for the first time, is a valued and cherished part of camp community. A week at Camp is an opportunity for our campers to experience the love of Jesus Christ.

We were founded in 1967, the first ministry of what would eventually grow to become Echoing Hills and have welcomed campers every summer since then. For more information on how you or someone you love can get involved with Camp

Success Story: Michael

…During a time of my life when I thought I myself had nothing much left to give I found myself in a weird and most grace-filled property where weak and unattractive people were strong and beautiful, a real community of fully capable men, women, and children- camper, staff, volunteers alike each giving and receiving as much as one was able…
